Back in that 1996 tournament, Southgate missed the decisive penalty in the semi-final against Germany.
The current England team have also gone through difficult experiences at recent tournaments, losing on penalties to Italy in the final of Euro 2020 and exiting at the quarter-final stage at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar after losing to France.
They were seconds away from going out of the Euros at the last-16 stage against Slovakia until Jude Bellingham’s overhead kick took the game to extra time and Harry Kane’s header sealed victory.
Since then, they have beaten Switzerland on penalties and came from behind to see off the Netherlands to reach the final.
And Southgate believes his players should go into Sunday’s final against a strong Spain side better for their past experiences.
“I don’t have any fear about what might happen [against Spain] because I’ve been through everything,” Southgate added.
“I want the players to feel that fearlessness. I want them to be able to be the best version of themselves because whatever happens we’re so strong as a group.”
