The LHC Run 2 started with a new highest center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV in the middle of last year. The first measurements were observables sensitive to soft-QCD processes, to validate the Monte Carlo (MC) generator models at this unprecedented collision energy. In this talk, I will summarise the ATLAS results, and comment on the implications of the results on improving the MC modelling.
