The Brasileirão has been miles ahead the rest of the continent for many years now. All Copa Libertadores winners since 2019 were Brazilians, and with the exception of the 2019 final (Flamengo v River) and the 2023 final (Fluminense v Boca), all the other finals in that period were played between Brazilians. The disparity is brutal. Because of the ranking qualifying system, Racing and Vélez, who are the truly strongest teams in Argentina at the moment, didn't make it to the CWC. So not only Argentinian club football can't compare to its Brazilian counterpart at the moment, but they aren't even sending their best.
Just to give you an idea of the financial disparity, Vélez Sarsfield won the Argentinian league last year and were awarded the pitiful sum of half a million dollars. Marginally less than Santos, the second division winners in Brazil got. The prize the 16th placed club in the Brasileirão got, that is, the first club out of the relegation zone, was more than 2.5mi USD. Braziluans get paid more than 5x for not getting relegated than Argentinians do for winning their league.
