Germany have failed to reach the last-16 in any of the past three tournaments and shockingly haven’t won a World Cup knockout game since the final in Rio de Janeiro in 2014.
On Monday night they were knocked out by Paraguay on penalties following Jonathan Tah’s header in a corner was ruled out after a lengthy VAR review for a foul on the goalkeeper.
The ruling was controversial and replays showed Waldemar Anton blocking and fouling the goalkeeper, a tactic that has become common in the Premier League.
Speaking after the clash, Klopp joked that if this tactic was illegal, Arsenal would not have been crowned champions.
"If the goal is illegal, then Arsenal won't be English champions. They've scored 60 per cent of their goals that way.
"Germany win the game when the ball goes in. So, of course, this is brutal."
Arsenal scored 25 set-piece goals last season in the Premier League, which was 35 per cent of their total goals. The Gunners were ruthless on corners and constantly blocked off goalkeepers and tussled with defenders to find the back of the net.
The defeat to Paraguay marked the first time Germany had ever lost a penalty shootout at the World Cup and their exit may serve as a lesson to teams hoping to use such set piece methods.
