BERLIN (Reuters) - Champions League and Bundesliga runners-up Borussia Dortmund will emerge as an even stronger force next season despite the departure of talented midfielder Mario Goetze, captain Sebastian Kehl said on Friday.

Dortmund, who played second fiddle to treble-winning Bayern Munich last season after dominating in 2011 and 2012, lost Goetze to the Bavarians, who signed the Germany international in a reported 37 million euro (31.56 million pounds) deal.
