Gerard Pique joined Lionel Messi at a pre-game press conference on Friday and spoke of Barcelona's style of play under Ernesto Valverde.
The center back has been questioned about Xavi's comments that Barcelona must again dominate the matches to win the Champions League and adds that this is not always possible.
"He [Liverpool defeat] It was one of the worst experiences I've ever had as a footballer. We try to play with the Barca style.
"Sometimes it's easier, sometimes it's more difficult. But as I said a few days ago, it does not only depend on us, but also on our rival and the way he plays against you.
"There are times, like at Anfield, where it is not possible to have the ball and where to play differently.
"Sometimes you have different players, they are more comfortable under certain circumstances, the desire is to play as we always do, but at Anfield we could not and that's why we've lost."
Pique also explained how he expected Valencia to provide a tough test in the Copa del Rey final, but said Barca would "compete as much as possible" in an attempt to lift the cup.
