Barca and the Spanish national team created a style which had changed football history, Pique said in an interview with Spanish sports daily As published on Monday, a day before the La Liga leaders play at Bayern Munich in their Champions League semi-final, first leg.
"The period when football was defined as a sport of 11 against 11 which the Germans always won is behind us," As quoted Pique as saying.
"And it is us who has ended it," added the 26-year-old former Manchester United player.
"It's true that they [Bayern] are a great rival but nobody should forget that we are still a great team."
Known as 'tiki-taka', their possession-based playing style has been criticised by some as boring but has put Barca within touching distance of a third Champions League crown in five seasons after victories in 2009 and 2011.
Barca host Bayern for the return leg on May 1 and the successful side will meet Borussia Dortmund or Real Madrid in next month's final at London's Wembley Stadium.
