Luis Enrique's men beat Atletico Madrid 1-0 at the Vicente Calderon on Sunday courtesy of a sublime second-half strike from Lionel Messi to dethrone Diego Simeone's side as the champions of Spain.
Pique was enthused by Barca's triumph, particularly has it had come after a season in which the Catalans had failed to win a major trophy.
"It’s been a fantastic year," the centre-half told his club's official website. "We’ve stood tall and the reward has been this title.
"It was a difficult year last season, but the team showed we could pick ourselves up. I am very proud to be a part of this great generation of players at Barcelona."
Barcelona are now one step closer to a treble, with the Blaugrana set to face Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey final on May 30 before meeting Juventus in the Champions League decider on June 6.
However, Pique has warned his team-mates not to get carried away or make the mistake of looking ahead to next month's European showdown with the Bianconeri in Berlin.
"We have to take each game at a time and now we need to focus on the cup final, which will be very tough," the Spain international added.
"We are on the way, but there’s still work to be done."
