We're living a unique period. Nobody has won six leagues out of eight," he said, as quoted by AS. "Given the circumstances, we have had to win it twice. When we had eight points in our favour, we had it won. Afterwards, with the blip, we lost it, although it still depended on us. And now we've come back to win it." Pique, who has now won six Liga titles, believes the current generation has established the ultimate winning mentality after a period of pessimism at Camp Nou. "This league, 20 years ago we wouldn't have won it because we were so often undone by our own pessimism," continued the defender."But this generation has changed things. We're a winning team, we've shown that we can be trusted, because we ended up winning." Barca can clinch a second successive domestic double with a win in the Copa del Rey final against Sevilla next week, but Pique insists a failure to triumph at the Vicente Calderon would not detract from their season. "We don't need anything," he said. "Of course it would be better if we won the Copa. Sevilla can beat you in a game, but I think our consistency is magnificent."</blockquote>
