You seem to ignore the fact that Argentina only won 2 Copas between in the last 62 years between 1959 and 2021 until their last trophy last year..Argentina has an insane degree of footballing heritage compared to Portugal in fact i think Argentina is one of the only countries to have won more games against Brazil than losing, that just shows you how good they are and were.
They won 15 copa americas and came second an another 14 times while Portugal never won an international trophy in their entire existence, Ronaldo winning his country's first European must surely mean a lot more , quality of the competition aside.
The last time they won was in 1993 and won again with Messi after 28 years.
Plus, individually, Messi was selected as the best player in every single tournament at every age group, World Cup, Copa (2015-2021), Olympics, U-20 WC etc. Ronaldo has zero, does not come close. The only major team Portugal had to face in EC 2016 was France in the final and he was injured. It was probably the jammiest win, their path looks like a joke EC path.. There were three surprise EC wins in the last 30 years, and see below the type of teams Greece and Denmark had to overcome.
Denmark's rivals in 1992: England, Sweden, France, Holland, Germany
Greece's rivals in 2004: Portugal (twice), Spain, Russia, France, Czech Rep
Portugal's rivals in 2016: Austria, Hungary, Iceland, Poland, Croatia, Wales, France
And people say Greece's win is overrated
